I am home almost all the time and work at my desk from 9 to 5 so can't be disturbed for long periods but enjoy meeting and chatting with guests and introducing them to the island as required. I respect your privacy and am flexible with regard to the guest/host experience, my concern is for you to be comfortable and I do offer a great deal of privacy and space if that's your preference.

Best location, so close to town yet feels like a country setting.
Yes, close to town and also right on bike path.
Priced for one or two people but room for four at additional price. The sofa is a pullout and very comfortable. Not set up for parties or gatherings as this location is in a year-round residential area.

Nancy is a wonderful host who provides fresh baked cakes and muffins for breakfast and offers tips re: local spots that aren't in the guidebooks.

WhitneyOctober 2016

My stay at Nancy's Garden get away was Excellent! It was great to have a whole private apartment, the bedroom and bathroom were clean, bright, spacious and comfortable, exactly like the pictures! The pullout couch bed was also clean and comfy and future AB&B'ers should definitely have a roommate or two to share the cost or the stay and maximize the space. No improvements required, Nancy was the Hostess with the Mostest!

DannaAugust 2016

Nancu was a very gracious host. She went out of her way to accomodate us, even though we arrived late. The place was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. It was also a short stroll to town. Breakfast with warm muffins and coffee on the porch, was a great way to start the day

SilviaAugust 2016

On a scale of 1-10, Nancy and her beautiful home get an 11. Not only is she the sweetest, so welcoming and friendly (yet not overbearing or nosy), but her home is perfect. The bed was so comfortable, the spacious living area was immaculate, the bathroom stocked with everything you would need. The garden is even prettier than the pictures. I sat outside and read in the morning. So tranquil! In the morning, she makes fresh baked treats and coffee. The blueberry coffee cake, banana bread, and cinnamon bread were out of this world! She is a quick walk into downtown Edgartown which is so convenient, yet far enough away to be peaceful and away from all the hubbub. My husband and I actually rode our bikes from the Oak Bluffs ferry. I highly recommend bikes! It was about 5 miles on a safe bike path along the shore, right to Nancy's house! we had the best time in Martha's Vineyard, largely because of Nancy, her home, and her location. We will definitely be back!! Highly recommended to all!!

KateAugust 2016

Nancy was a gracious host, extremely welcoming, extremely kind and fun. Her space is clean, stocked with the necessary amenities, private entrance, gorgeous yard and easy walk to town. We had a fantastic stay!

MiaAugust 2016

Nancy was a fantastic host. My wife and I felt like we had our own home on the Vineyard. Nancy made us homemade blueberry cake and donuts in the morning to start our day which we ate out on the porch. We loved her two Jack Russel terriers Jasmine and Daisy Mae. We hope to come back often!!

MauraSeptember 2016

Felt like I was at home , great experience, beyond gracious!

EdmondAugust 2016

My boyfriend and I took a one day trip to Martha's Vineyard and had a wonderful stay thanks to Nancy. Her place is centrally located - only a short walk to Main Street Edgartown - yet very serene and tranquil. She was an excellent host and her coffee and banana bread in the morning was the perfect end to our stay. I would definitely visit again! Thank you, Nancy!

My place is close to Water,Swimming,Fishing..towns are 10min by bicycle .... You’ll love my place because of the location and cleanliness .... My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

Walk to the Sunset was amazing!Exactly what I needed for my trip to the island. Chris and his wife were wonderful hosts - suggested sights, gave directions and welcomed me into their home. Nice location on a quiet street - very short walk to the ocean, longer but pleasant walk to town and the island bus. Would recommend to anyone that wants a magnificent experience on MV

Doreen October 2016

Chris was warm & communicative, he helped us out by allowing us to drop off baggage early in the morning prior to our official check-in. His house is amazingly clean. The room & bed were very comfortable. Centrally located neighborhood in between OB & VH centers. Would gladly stay again.

scottAugust 2016

We felt welcome the moment we arrived on the Vineyard. They had our room clean and tidy and we we're able to drop off our luggage the moment we landed. The amenities they provided made us feel just like home, from wifi, to kitchen privileges, to tv privileges. Chris and his wife are incredibly kind and friendly. The location is great for walking to town, or a short cab ride. We can't wait to come back :)

HeidiSeptember 2016

Everything about this place is amazing - Chris was so welcoming and easy going, the home was beautiful and very clean, the room was ideal, and the location was almost too good to be true (quiet, near the airport, near the ocean, near downtown Oak Bluffs...!) I felt very comfortable and would definitely stay again when I come back to Martha's Vineyard.

HillaryJuly 2016

The host made me feel really welcome at the Vineyard. Chris and his wife advised me on where to go and what to do. I even discovered a local donut place that is unique and super hard to find (backdoor donuts). I would totally recommend anyone to book a stay here. The sunset is close by and the house and room is top notch.

RyanJune 2016

Chris is very friendly , easy going and helpful

MitchellAugust 2016

Very helpful and receptive hosts! Nice and clean. Good quiet location if you want to be a short car ride to towns.

sherrySeptember 2016

Chris and Madalena went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Very friendly and even let us keep some luggage there after we checked out for a few hours. Extremely clean house and close to town but in a quiet and cute neighborhood. Their cat is very friendly as well :) Thanks for a fantastic stay!

Martha's Vineyard Pied-á-terre # 1 Vineyard Haven is but a short stroll from the ferry. Found in the heart of Vineyard Haven, this beautiful apartment overlooks the village and it's mix of restaurants, shops, galleries and theaters. A seamless blend of comfort and convenience!
If your choice of dates is not available be sure to check out our newly listed property Martha's Vineyard Pied-á-terre # 2 Vineyard Haven.

A seamless blend of comfort and convenience our Pied-á-terre is brimming with amenities for a relaxing stay.

Gerda was great and the place was amazing, clean, and the location was very central.

SarahAugust 2016

Had a wonderful trip to Marthas Vineyard over Memorial Day Weekend! The Pied-a-Terre was most certainly a highlight, it is so beautiful, spotlessly clean and modern. Super great location, right on Main Street Vineyard Haven. The pictures don't do it justice, I was very very happy I got to experience it. The owner Gerda is awesome, so accommodating, I arrived early and she held my bags for me and when I moved in, they were in my room waiting for me! I am so happy my hotel room didn't work out and I get to experience this truly magical place! With so much appreciation, Frankie!! I hope it's available in August when I return!!

FrankieJune 2016

Gerda was a perfect host. Even though we arrived later than expected due to traffic, etc.. , she was communicative and helpful with negotiating the ferry, parking and so on. Furthermore, her apartment was beautifully appointed and immaculately clean. We felt like we were in a little Parisian flat... Everything was there that we needed-- linens, towels, refrigerator, tea kettle. There was even a convection/ microwave oven, hot plate and beach chairs for our use! The location was central Vineyard Haven (Main St.) and therefore convenient to anything that we wanted to do on the island-- a perfect home-base to come back to after exploring the island for a day. There was some street noise, but we hardly noticed it. In short, this was The-Perfect- Spot for our mini honeymoon.

ScottJuly 2016

We stayed here for a romantic getaway and it couldn't have been more perfect. Gerda's place is lovely, centrally located, and a breeze to get to. Would definitely stay here again!

JamieNovember 2016

Gerda was very accommodating and the apartment was wonderful! It's conveniently located right on Main Street in Vineyard Haven, walking distance to all stores including Stop & Shop, and the ferry. The apartment is modern, clean and very tastefully decorated. Without a doubt, we would stay here again!

MichaelSeptember 2016

It's a lovely place right in the center of the town, surronded by many shops and restaurants. The place is clean and great for a couple (2 people). We trully enjoyed our stay at this place. The quality of the bath towels and beding are great and the bed is really comfortable.

AgitaAugust 2016

Our experience was wonderful. The apartment is very nicely appointed, and very comfortable for two people. The location makes it perfect for access to the ferry, as well as all other transportation (bike rental, car rental, MVA bus) options. We had a terrific weekend despite the cool and cloudy weather. The only note is that the apartment has a sink, mini, fridge/freezer and either a microwave or oven (forget which), but not a true kitchen. Just enough for chilling some snacks and preparing cocktails. Should be sufficient as there is so much to get out there and enjoy on the island! Thank you, Gerda!

JosselynJuly 2016

What a fabulous three days, and a wonderful host! We were scheduled to visit in early July, but when I broke my ankle and needed surgery we were prepared to forfeit our payment and miss the trip. We contacted Gerda and were happily surprised by her earnest compassion and offer to work with us to find alternate dates later in the season, which left us only having to pay the difference in pricing due to the date change - how fantastic! When we arrived Gerda continued to be pleasant and helpful, even adding a non-slip mat to the shower as she knew I was still recovering. The apartment is ADORABLE and the kitchenette is so convenient. Bed, living room, everything very comfortable and beautifully decorated right down to the several blooming live orchids throughout. We didn't have any noise complaints at all. The A/C keeps the living room super comfy; if it's really hot you may want to bring a small fan for the bedroom to help the a/c drift into the bedroom a tad more. Parking is typical downtown parking; we were always able to find a spot within a block of the apartment, and if I wasn't on crutches it probably wouldn't have been an issue for us at all. Great little coffee/bagel spot right across the street is great for bringing back a quiet breakfast to eat at the sunny, happy cafe table in the living room. Overall, a really great experience, and the perfect end to a less than perfect summer for us!

A private room in an elegant historic Captain's house. 2 blocks to downtown, the ferry, town pier and beach, restaurants, and public transportation to the rest of the island. An expansive garden, patio, and outdoor dining make this property a refuge in the heart of Vineyard Haven.

This historic house was built in 1905 by Captain George Eldridge who in 1875 first published the famous tide schedules still used by sailors today. On Main St, a short walk from the downtown, “Fairtide” sits on a double lot with expansive lawn and gardens. The room is entered from the front foyer and has an attached bathroom. 1 double bed and one twin bed, side table, bureau, and closet.
The room adjoins a spacious living room (photo listed) which I don't use. Guests have access to the entire ground floor and upstairs bathroom for the shower. The kitchen is available to make breakfast. The dining room is also available as well as outdoor dining on the patio and a spacious yard. An outdoor shower is also delightful, weather permitting.
I live upstairs and am happy to help you with your stay in any way that I can. I am easy going and also quite happy to respect your privacy.

I think we are in one of the best locations on the island. We are just out of downtown Vineyard Haven, so walkable to/from the ferry, restaurants, shops, beach, and public transport, while also in a quiet historic neighborhood. Just two houses away from the Public Library as well.
Parking is available, bikes are available for use, and public transport is a short (5 min) walk away.
I have a gallery of my stone carvings behind the garage which you are welcome to visit.

First of, let me preface this by saying that the pictures do not do this place justice! The house is waaaay better and much more beautiful than you would imagine. Adrian and his family have done an amazing job with the restoration and upkeep of the property. The house is super clean, it's spacious but feels (URL HIDDEN) also a close walk to the Vineyard Haven Ferry and some of the best restaurants in Tisbury are close by. Adrian is also a gracious host, he was very responsive to our needs and provided pointers on where to go, what to see and where to eat. I will definitely be staying here again. Be sure to check out his gallery in the back as he does have some amazing pieces of stone art.

ClaireMay 2016

We had a wonderful stay at Adrian's house! The room is exactly as pictured, and the garden is amazing. I recommend having the breakfast in the garden and definitely trying the outdoor shower. Adrian is very hospitable, he texted us the day before to check when we plan to arrive and make sure that he can be there and greet us. He gave excellent advise on navigation around Martha's Vinyard. Adrian himself is an awesome artist, make sure you see his personal stone carvings. I highly recommend Adrian's place for a vacation on MV.

JingMay 2016

We were so lucky to have found Adrian's place on Martha's Vineyard! It was lovely, comfortable, and only a few blocks from the charming downtown of Vineyard Haven. The house is lovely, with a garden and Adrian's stone-carving studio in the back. Our room was spacious and airy, with very comfortable beds. Adrian was a great host -- we arrived earlier than check-in time but he was there and gave us a tour of the house. Parking was easy, and Adrian had an info sheet of places to go, and eat.

NancyJune 2016

Adrian was very friendly, he gave us some good tips on places to see, and eat. His house was beautiful and very clean. The location was excellent, close to the ferry, busses,dining, and shopping.

AnnSeptember 2016

We loved this place. The house and the grounds are kept beautifully. It's super close to the ferry and town, but the double lot with gardens give you a sense of space and nature. Adrian was the perfect host. Communicated well and was very welcoming and open. The house was clean and all the logistics like check in etc. went smoothly. It was also awesome having a couple of sets of clean towels and a great bed to sleep in!

ToddJune 2016

Adrian was a wonderful host! Very welcoming and hospitable, informative and friendly. He has great recommendations for swimming locations near and far, and gave me tips that I couldn't have learned from any tourist reading. The house is beautiful and comfortable, and extremely convenient. I took buses or rode a bike (borrowed from Adrian!) to get everywhere I needed to. I will add that as a woman traveling alone I was very comfortable staying in Adrian's home.

AliceJune 2016

We booked a last minute stay here as I was visiting my daughter my daughter at college in Boston and we wanted a weekend away. It couldn't have been better. The house was lovely & comfortable Adrian was the perfect host. Nothing was too much trouble from lending us bikes & pumping up the tyres to recommending where to go & what to do. We had the most wonderful weekend rounded off with blueberry pancakes at The Black Dog Tavern overlooking the harbour. We didn't want to leave!

NikkiOctober 2016

We had a very nice stay at Adrian's. The room was very comfortable, very clean, and Adrian was a great host. The location was perfect, only a short walking distance to all amenities, including the ferry. I would definitely recommend and will stay again in the future!

The house is surrounded by tall oak tress, a large deck on the front of the house and brick court yard off the kitchen. This year we have added a Farm Stand growing vegetables and flowers on the property. It is a very relaxing welcoming place and we look forward to meeting new people and making new friends.

The bedroom is very comfortable with surrounding windows and orginal wood flooring.
Guests are welcome to use the whole first floor of the house, living room, TV, Kitchen , Den and shared bathroom.
We love interaction with our guests, but promise not to be pests lol

We are in a unique area, walking path just out side out fence which leads a short distance to a Post Office, Cafe, Grocery store and Apothcarey.
No problem parking on our property, we also have full bus transportation around the Island less then 5 min. walk from us
We have a small dog who is very friendly but can get excited on first contact, meaning lots of barking and twirling, but out side of that , very laid back and loving

Joan and Trip III are two of the most welcoming people I have ever met...anywhere, any city , any country. They have such great roots and history with the Island that staying with them is like getting a history lesson. Staying with them is like staying with you Aunt & Uncle-no stress and a great home. Can't wait to go back!

Water view room in Aquinnah on Martha's Vineyard available April-November. Aquinnah is a very rural area far from the crowds of "down Island".
The 12' x 12' feet room has an ocean view and a tree house like feel. It is very private as it is separate from the main house where we live with our nine year old son. There is a small half bathroom that is shared with a guest room below. We only use the OUTDOOR shower in the summer so please make sure you are comfortable with that.

1 Bedroom guest tower available in Aquinnah on Martha's Vineyard. Up Island and away from the crowds. Pricing is as follows: $125 per night April, May (except Memorial Day weekend), October and November.
$150. per night Memorial Day weekend, June, September (except Labor Day w/e)
$175 per night July (and last night of June)
$190 per night August (through Labor Day weekend)
Separate entrance and parking, shared bathroom with another guestroom. Shared OUTDOOR shower, we do not use our indoor shower in the summer, the only shower available is the outdoor shower. The shower is partially open, on the side that faces the ocean there is no partition. Please make sure you are comfortable with this. There is wireless internet but no tv in the room. Cell service is spotty AT&T has the best service.
The room is in the upper level of a guest tower across the deck from the main house. The room has a stunning water view and a tree house like feel with a queen size bed. It is very private. At the top of the tower there is a hammock We live across the deck in the main house with our 9year old son and in the summer we are all working like crazy so are not home that much but you may hear the pitter patter of our son's feet on the deck in the morning.
Aquinnah is a rural part of Martha's Vineyard. 35 minutes from the ferry in Vineyard Haven and the airport in Edgartown. It is home to the Wampanoag tribe and known for its beautiful clay cliffs and beaches. There is public transportation by bus once an hour and great biking and trails but a car is best in this area. It's hilly and remote.
There is a market 10 minutes away (Memorial Day-Columbus Day) and a grocery store 30 minutes away. The only liquor stores are in Edgartown and Oak Bluffs. The closest one is MV Wine and Spirits near the airport. Good restaurants in the area, kayak/canoe rentals available and paddle boarding, surfing, sailing etc.
Great beaches!
The kitchen, outdoor shower, grill, own parking space, bike storage. We ask that if you use the kitchen you coordinate the timing with us beforehand and that you be out of the kitchen by 8pm.
I try to be here to greet each guest but sometimes with our busy schedules that is not possible. I will always contact the guest the day before arrival to find out ETA and if they have questions. We are frequently out at night in the summer. We are usually around in the morning to answer any questions guests might have. I've had guests join us for breakfast and play with our son and I've had guests who I've hardly interacted with at all. I go by what the guest wants.

Very peaceful in the summer, far from the crowds and very close to the natural beauty of the island.
We are 20 miles from the more bustling towns of Vineyard Haven, Edgartown and Oak Bluffs. There is a small market 10 minutes from our house open Memorial Day-Columbus Day. The only liquor stores are in Edgartown and Oak Bluffs. The closest one is MV Wine and Spirits near the airport in Edgartown. The best grocery stores are Cronig's in Vineyard Haven and West Tisbury and Stop and Shop in Vineyard Haven and Edgartown.
If you want peace and quiet This is your place, if you want towns and shopping and nightlife it's not.
During the summer months there is a bus that runs once an hour to and from Aquinnah. A car is best in this area as we are far from the ferry and the towns. You can ride your bike but it is VERY hilly. There is the Menemsha Bike Ferry that runs in the summer months until Labor Day from 10am-5pm which will take you from West Basin in Aquinnah to Menemsha in Chilmark, it's a good way to get to Chilmark without riding over tons of hills.
I mentioned this above in the space description but want to be clear the only shower available in the summer months is the outdoor shower. It is designed so that you can see the ocean, so on one side there is no partition it is completely open. You will be afforded privacy simply by letting us know when you would like to shower. The bathroom is also a half bath and small.

Our stay with Molly and her family was fantastic! She provided clear and timely information before the trip as well as to help with our arrival and very graciously agreed to allow us to stay late on our last day. The place is incredible! The closest to staying in a tree house with a gorgeous view and sound of the Atlantic Ocean. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the view unbeatable! Everything made for an unforgettable vacation. The hardest part was leaving. Now back to the 'real' world, we often fantasize about our time there and look forward to a repeat visit. Thank you Molly, Curtis and Rodeo!

CorinaSeptember 2015

Molly's communication leading up to and during our stay was top-notch. She and her family were extremely flexible as we were in town for some unexpectedly cold and wet New England weather. The room was well appointed with a mini-fridge, heater, and all the towels we might need. The bed was extremely comfortable and offered an excellent view of the rural landscape and ocean. As it was the off season, we definitely appreciated having our car. As a matter of convenience, we would recommend that to other guests considering this part of the island. With our fingers crossed for better weather, we will definitely come back again. Thanks, Molly!

LaurenOctober 2015

I stayed at Molly's airbnb for a week recently and I had a wonderful stay! The room was exactly as described and pictured, the bed was comfy, the view was lovely. My hosts were very friendly and helpful while still being respectful of my privacy, really delightful people. I loved the outdoor shower, the rooftop hammock, .. and all the windows in the room! Could not have asked for a better experience! I highly recommend it and will happily stay there again in the future.

HollySeptember 2014

This place is magical. Molly is super easy to communicate with and made our stay absolutely delightful. You really feel as if you're sleeping in the trees at this place. The bed is amazingly comfortable. The outdoor shower was great and we had no problem with privacy or anything of that matter. In fact, I wish every shower was outdoors. Do remember that the bathroom is separate, but again not an issue for us. This is the perfect home base for discovering the most beautiful beaches and adventures that Martha's Vineyard has to offer and ending your day with the best sleep of your life.

SethAugust 2015

Molly, Curtis and Rodeo were very friendly. Suggested good places to visit, eat and talked to us freely making us comfortable. Was a great place to stay with fantastic views. Would definitely re visit.

AnilkumarAugust 2015

Lovely and unique location. Very remote.

MaureenSeptember 2016

Starting with the booking, Molly was warm, personable, friendly and SUPER helpful. The room and property are gorgeous and even better than the pictures. Everything was clean and comfortable. We would most definitely return.

CandiceAugust 2015

Our stay in the Water View Room was top notch. Molly and her family were gracious hosts and the accomodations were incomparably charming. We lived in close proximity to the daily lives of the family and it only added an air of welcomness to our visit. Molly and Curtis briefed us well on the lay of the land. They were extremely helpful with local knowledge and advice. The house is perched on a gradual hillside looking out at the ocean with nothing but green trees between you and the water. With just enough space in the room and access to the conveniences of the main house's kitchen and washer/drier our weeklong stay was comfortable and hassle-free. The room was clean and well-maintained. Using the outdoor shower was truly enjoyable on the cool, clear nights; though, the modest traveler should be prepared for the semi-private nature of its enclosure. I have no doubt that I will first check this room's availability should we return to the Vineyard for another visit.

Amazing house and location in a more quiet and authentic part of the island. Stephanie was very helpful and made sure we had a great stay. The private beach was beautiful. We definitely recommend staying here. Sofia & Alex

SofiaSeptember 2016

We had a wonderful stay! The apartment felt like a real retreat in a beautiful setting. It was conveniently located to beautiful beaches and local restaurants. Stephanie was a perfect host, very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend staying here and hope we get another opportunity to visit.

Andrea & BenOctober 2016

Stephanie's place is lovely--clean, well-appointed, peaceful. I would gladly stay there again, though the Internet connection could be improved. It was both slow and spotty.

CoreyOctober 2016

Stephanie's place is gorgeous! Completely private, clean and everything you need to experience the serenity of Chilmark. Beautiful grounds and Stephanie was kind to offer help for anything we needed!

CassAugust 2016

We had a wonderful experience- Stephanie is totally cool and friendly with a real knowledge of the island and she has immaculate taste in decor. The house and apartment were flawless- the yard and drive up to it were out of a postcard and if you're looking for a truly relaxing experience slightly away from the summertime craziness, this is your place. A car is definitely a plus here- you're about 5 minutes from beautiful Menemsha, 15 minutes from the lighthouse in Acquinnah where there is a excellent restaurant on the cliffs and beaches below- 25 minute drive across the Island to Oak Bluffs but its not a problem at all- very beautiful actually. Would highly recommend Stephanie and her home to a friend for sure.

AlexanderSeptember 2016

Stephanie's place is clean, nicely decorated, and clearly has an artist's touch. It not only comes with all the essentials, but also all the wonderful surprises (personalized welcome card, island grown tomato, to name a few). We feel welcomed by Stephanie, and greatly benefited from her suggestions on to dos on the island. Granted, Chilmark is a bit far from the east side, but this is completely doable with a car, or without (uber is $35 from Vineyard Haven). If you like biking like us, spend your day 1 in VH and Edgartown (VH to Edgartown then back, around 3 -4 hours). Then spend day 2 in Chilmark, Menemsha, Gayhead and maybe even West Tisbury, you can bike all day long!

SophieSeptember 2016

This is a beautiful place! It's on. It's on a gorgeous estate quietly tucked away in the woods. The loft is so well designed and simple yet completely functional. It's a very pleasing design and great place to serve as home base while enjoying the island. Stephanie was delightful to work with, very accommodating and great with communication. I hope to make it back again soon!

JohnAugust 2016

We stayed at Stephanie's beautiful guest house as part of our "mini-moon". To say that we had an amazing experience is an understatement. She even had a welcome sign and local chocolate waiting for us when we arrived! We had a great time on MV, but it was due to her hospitality. She gave amazing restaurant and activity recommendations leading up to the trip and during our stay. Stephanie was extremely accessible. And the house was beautiful. She made us feel welcome and it was a special place to start our marriage. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Centrally located on Kennebec Ave with all the best restaurants, cafes and the clubs just one street away and the ocean only 2 short walking blocks through Ocean Park. Also located across the street from the famous Back Door Donuts - you can smell them from the house. Uh oh!
The Tabernacle for outdoor concerts and events is a block in the other direction, the harbor is a couple of blocks down with lots more restaurants and bars. Oak Bluffs has everything! It is the jewel of the island.
The tale of a perfect little house
I fell in love with this house the minute I saw it. It took me a full winter to be able to purchase the house because the owner did not want to disappoint another person who'd looked at the house previously, even though there was no contract of any kind. She risked losing the sale to do this, but felt it was only right to try to find this person who was by then out of the country and difficult to track down. She knew how much I loved the house, and after several long months she called to say it was mine if I still wanted it, and I could take a few days to let her know. I told her I didn’t even need a few minutes. No other house that I had seen captured my heart as this one had.
It took great amounts of work to prep this house to be my massage center, as it would be for some years before I could make it my home. One day, at my other massage center in Vineyard Haven, I interviewed a lovely massage therapist from Louisiana. I had no idea that she had a Vineyard connection, but I instantly knew she was special. I hired her on the spot and sent her here to do a massage on a client who had just come in. Twenty minutes passed, and the phone rang. “You are not going to believe this, Sharon, but this is the house my grandmother grew up in.”
Uma (grandmother in German), came right over the next day from West Tisbury, where she then summered, brought me this photo of her parents and this house as it was in 1908, and gave me a tour of the house, telling me where all the original details used to be. Uma was beautiful, and her granddaughter is beautiful, as was the previous owner. I just kept feeling that it was no wonder that it feels so special in here. Since that time, my friends, family and guests have only added to that beautiful feeling. Time and time again, people walk in and comment on the energy of the home. I feel it deeply myself.
To top off all of this wonder, the last bit of amazement for me was the dog in the photo - a dog with a half black and half white face, split down the middle. On the other side of the couch, you can see the photo of my dog, Haffa, at the time. A dog with a half black and half white face, split down the middle, almost 100 years later.
Life is magical, mysterious and beyond imagination.

Great apartment in a fantastic location! The place is cozy and adorable, and is just seconds from all there is to see and do in Oak Bluffs. Sharon was a wonderful host. She provided tons of advice and suggestions on what to see and do on Martha's Vineyard and we took full advantage! She was very responsive to all text messages and the wine and chocolates were a lovely touch. Overall just a fantastic experience

NaomiSeptember 2015

We absolutely loved this location! This was my first trip to MV and this place helped us make it just right! We were within walking distance to a great beach, some of the BEST restaurants, and so many great things to do. We were also super close to many bus lines to explore other parts of the island. The set up was precious-- love the little hot tub, outdoor shower, and upstairs patio. It had everything we wanted, and we really felt like it was our home for a few days! Can't wait to come back someday.

SarahJuly 2016

This was an awesome place right in the center of everything! Walking distance to great restaurants, the beach and shopping. Sharon was a great host and there for us at any time and the apartment was clean and comfy. We will definitely be back!

susanMay 2016

Great experience at Sharon's Historic1800's house - location was perfect with the entire town of Oak Bluffs within walking distance and the beach, great restaurants and bars all an easy walk away. The apartment itself was very nice, the grocery store is literally across the street and we had a BBQ for dinner one night. Sharon was also extremely helpful in everything - very highly recommended!

SethJuly 2015

Amazing house in MV! It is so warm, inviting, clean, and cozy. It is seriously such an amazing retreat! Sharon is the best she communicates so well and is there via text if you have any questions. She left us a bottle of wine and welcoming packets w/ mini day trip info! I absolutely love this home and will book again this spring/summer!

CristinJanuary 2016

Sharon was an unbelievable host, full of great ideas and a calm aesthetic touch. I surprised my girlfriend and another couple with a weekend away on Martha's Vineyard and we enjoyed our experience so much. Sharon's home is absolutely beautiful, and couldn't be closer to town and surrounding points of interest. She's thought of everything- down to dog-specific towels for cleaning paws, and the thoughtful touch of wine and chocolate. Sharon was always reachable by phone or email, and made sure we had packets of information about things to do around town. We highly recommend her space to anyone lucky enough to book it! We hope to return in the future to her gorgeous, tranquil space.

RoseMay 2016

The location was absolutely perfect! Sharon and Leah made sure I had all the info needed ie restaurants, things to do, pet friendly places, etc to make this a fabulous trip. I found everything to be very accurate as to the description and pictures. Would definitely stay here again or another of Sharon's property. Sharon had little cards around the apartment with helpful hints and instructions - from how to use the AC to water system to the books in the reading nook. It was such a nice touch as was the wine and chocolate. Loved staying here! Thanks Sharon and Leah!!

My house is close to South Beach and about a mile from town. Close to bike path and bus route.

My house is located an equal distance between town and the beach. About 1 mile in either direction. It's a quiet neighborhood without being " way out in the sticks". Walking and biking distance to both town and the beach.
Bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, washer and dryer.
I work on weekdays so may not be at home at check in time. My ideal guests would want a friendly hello and answers to any questions they may have about the island. For the most part they should be independent people with plans who don't want to hang around the house. I am a busy person who enjoys the spare time at home that I can get.

My neighborhood is quiet but convenient to town. I like that it feels like it's isolated without being too far away from shopping, restaurants etc.
Yes, the bus stops right at the end of the road.
I have pets! I have a small dog and three cats. If you are not an animal person this isn't the place for you. I do my best to keep up with pet hair etc but there will inevitably be some here and there. My pets are not allowed in the guest bedroom unless, of course, you invite them in.

Jessica was such a lovely host. Her place was private, a mile away from the main Street and a gorgeous layout with orange pumpkins celebrating the fall! My room was fab and the linen was great! I really enjoy staying at Jessica's Haven in beautiful Eagar Town. The weekend away was really inspiring, gorgeous autumn foliage in reds, oranges, yellows! Transport was fine with buses co-ordinating guests links with connections. Martha's Vineyard is an amazing destination and its inhabitants including Jessica are amazing!

We loved our stay. John and Sharon we're amazing hosts. The location was fantastic and the rooms were super clean.

MikeAugust 2016

We had an amazing time at John's place. From being flexible with our arrival time, to telling us stories about the history of the vineyard, John went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We took full advantage of the tea room, outdoor shower, and convenient location, and we were even able to peruse through some of the books in John's collection. We absolutely plan to stay here again, and I would recommend this listing to anyone looking for a leisurely, convenient, clean, and beautiful vineyard stay. Thank you so much John!

CatherineSeptember 2016

John and Sharon were excellent hosts. My wife and I enjoyed our stay for our first anniversary. The space was cozy and comfortable. They have a beautiful home. With an amazing view. The location was amazing. Walking distance from the all the food. It was just beautiful. I highly recommend this place to stay when visiting Martha's Vineyard. John and Sharon are awesome. Thanks for a wonderful visit that we will never forget!

CorcoranSeptember 2016

We had a wonderful stay with John, Sharon, and their friendly pooch Dora. John was very accommodating to our shifting arrival time and picked us up from the boat in style in his mint green 1956 Buick convertible. The house on Ocean Park is a special treat and the private suite is very comfortable. We loved the sitting room complete with muffins and jam. Being able to walk to the town beach in just moments was great for a quick dip. We highly recommend!

SusanJuly 2016

John and his wife were fantastic hosts. They did everything to make us comfortable and welcome. We learned a lot about the island and got excellent recommendations on restaurants. The room was clean and spacious, and it really felt like a private apartment rather than just a room. The location couldn't have been better. Just a few minutes from the ferry terminal and main streets in Oak Bluffs while overlooking the main park. We had a great time and look forward to coming back to Martha's Vineyard.

ReeceJuly 2016

John and Sharon are wonderful hosts! They have taken great care in making sure every detail is perfect! Their historic home is a constant source of delights! The suite is well appointed with a fridge and microwave as well as a Keurig. The bedroom is spacious with plenty of storage and a big closet. There are several bookcases with plenty of reading material. The outdoor shower is very charming! Dora, the sweet doggy is very cute and friendly. The location cannot be beat! It's a short walk to shops and restaurants as well as the public beach and the Steamship Authority. John and Sharon are very welcoming and helpful! Thank you for a wonderful stay in your gorgeous home! We look forward to staying again!

BradfordAugust 2016

John was an incredible host during our stay in Oak Bluffs. He went out of his way to make our stay an interesting and comfortable one, and made our stay unique and memorable. John's house is in an incredible location and has everything you need.

stevenJuly 2016

What a great experience. My wife and I chose this location to start our honeymoon and it could not have been nicer. John and his wife were very hospitable and made sure we had everything we needed. The space itself was clean and comfortable. The location was ideal as well. Steps away from the beach and a couple minute walk to Circuit Ave. It's hard to imagine our stay going any better and.

The Trumpet Vine Cottage is walking distance to everything in Edgartown Village, restaurants, movie theater, shopping, Lighthouse, Whaling Church, harbor, etc.. You’ll love the cozy feeling, attractive furnishings, open plan, spacious bedrooms, outdoor shower, brick terrace, soaking tub, beautiful perennial gardens and common lawn area. Great for couples and families (with kids). There is also an adjacent 3 bedroom house that sleeps up to 7 within the 3 house compound that can be rented as well.

***During Summer, this is a Saturday to Saturday rental with a 7-night minimum***
The Trumpet Vine Cottage is part of a three-house compound in the heart of Edgartown Village. The main house was built in 1870’s and the two smaller houses were added in 2000. All houses are constructed in the charming local style with white clapboards and cedar shingles. Together they shape a lovely outdoor room with a large expanse of green lawn and perennial gardens and borders. The house has an open main level plan with hardwood floors extending from the kitchen to the dining room and into the living room. The spacious living room is centered on a gas fireplace and mantel.
There is also a half bath as well as use of a washer and dryer in the adjacent shared garage. The upper level has two ample cathedral ceiling bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with two twin beds. Each bedroom has French doors that access private covered porches. The bedrooms share a generous bath with soaking tub, separate shower, toilet and lavatory. The house is within a short walk to all the wonderful things Edgartown has to offer - beaches, shops, markets, excellent restaurants, movie theaters, and harbor.

All went according to plan. John wasn't there but everything was in order and no trouble to find our way about the place. It was lovely to have the whole complex to ourselves.

Welcome to my home, a 200 year-old former whaling captain's home in the heart of historic Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard (not Nantucket). From here, every amenity - shops, beaches, harbor, and cafes - is accessible by foot or bicycle. No car needed!

This house is my childhood home, to which I returned to live full time in 2012. I have spent the past four years lovingly restoring this old house - painting and repairing every room with my own hands. The house was built in the early 1800s, about two miles out of town, by Captain Alexander Palmer Weeks. It was moved to its in-town location in the mid 1930s by a team of forty yoke of oxen.
Here is the story of the house move:
May Snowstorm That Took an Unkind Turn (from a 1948 edition of the Vineyard Gazette)
The cold May storm, a proverbial part of the Vineyard spring, took an especially unkind turn about a century ago, on May 26th, the date being recalled because it coincided with moving day for an old house which found a haven on Main Street, Edgartown.
The house, then owned by Capt. Alexander Weeks, once stood at Ocean Heights, but yielding to that irresistible urge which seemed to overtake both houses and their owners in the olden days, it was decreed that it should become a town dweller. Propelled by forty yoke of oxen and a large force of men, the house made its slow and stately way over the sandy roads until it reached its present site, on the corner of Green Lane, where it is now the home of Mrs. Herbert M. Boylston.
"The usual barrel of New England liquid refreshments as was the custom in those halcyon days," the Gazette recalled wistfully a quarter of a century ago, "flowed freely and when spirits rose to the point that when the new location was reached it was decided to hold a dance then and there. A fiddler was procured, fair ladies recruited, and the evening passed all too swiftly, the home-going guests finding to their surprise that a heavy snow had fallen while they were celebrating and that many of the weary and hungry oxen had dispersed, leading to a chilly chase on the night of the great snow, before the beasts were stabled and their masters housed."
(More information about Captain Alexander Palmer Weeks, from my mother's files, includes the facts that he was born on May 18, 1804 and died on August 29 or 30, 1856, lost at sea in a hurricane, and that in 1835 Captain Weeks was skipper of the ship Leader whose home port was New Bedford. I have also learned - from the National Maritime Digital Library - that Leader, a whaling bark, with Captain Weeks listed as its master, departed New Bedford for the Pacific Ocean in May of 1835, and returned in April of 1838, reporting 480 sperm, and 138 whale. Leader is listed as having been built in 1815 in Fairhaven, and that she broke up in 1851.)
Guests have access to my living room, bathroom, outdoor shower, dining room, large back yard, and front porch, along with light kitchen privileges. I provide a continental breakfast (coffee, juice, muffins and bagels, fruit, and cold cereal), and you are welcome to store items in my refrigerator. I have parking for one car but I strongly urge you not to bring a car - it's not necessary in this location and the island already has too many cars here in the summer. Do you want to enjoy the island or sit in traffic (you can do that at home :-) )
I am either at home or nearby, most of the time. I am a native Edgartonian and can give you an insider's advice and point of view of the town.

I am in the heart of historic downtown Edgartown - two blocks from Edgartown's historic center with its multitude of shops and restaurants; four blocks from Edgartown Harbor, with two beaches within walking distance, and two miles from the best family swimming beach on the planet: Bend in the Road Beach (aka State Beach), and three miles from South Beach - all accessible via bike paths and public transportation.
I am 1 1/2 blocks away from the Vineyard Transit Authority bus stop. Again - no car is necessary in this location, as everything you need is within walking distance. However, if you want to venture out of town, the VTA bus is the way to go.
This house is also home to a small photo gallery and is the setting for occasional music and song jams. Guests are always invited to attend and/or participate in these gatherings. I have four-going-on-five young grandchildren and they are often on the premises, so if young children are not your cup of tea, this is probably not the place for you. On the other hand, if you are traveling with children, please do ask about my overflow options. This is a very child-friendly home.

Sara was terrific. She was extremely professional and her house was beautiful.

barbaraSeptember 2015

Sara made us feel welcome and showed us around upon our arrival. She had many print resources to help us get to know the Vineyard. The home was quaint and clean, smaller than it appeared in the photos with a fairly small guest room. The yard was very spacious and shaded. The porch was especially pleasant and Sara played her fiddle for a while before we went out for dinner. She offered some good suggestions and everything is within a few minutes walk from all the restaurants and shops.

EvelynAugust 2015

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Paul

Sara was very warm and friendly. A talented women, I enjoyed her gallery of photos and her history on the island. I would stay there again! J

JacquelineOctober 2016

My wife and I had a wonderful stay with Sara. We were in Edgartown for a wedding and the house was short walking distance to the church, reception etc. Sara was a fantastic host and we only wish we had a chance to spend more time with her. Beautiful old house and our room was perfect.

JohnJune 2016

Sara was very warm and welcoming. She greeted me and showed me all around and gave me all of the necessary information about entering and exiting her home. The room was cozy and the bed was very comfortable.

JaneJuly 2016

I had a lovely night staying here. Sarah was a great hostess and it was easy to stop by and pick up the keys. The bed was super comfortable and. The room & bathroom were large and clean. The house is perfectly located in Edgartown - walking distance to everything. Freshly baked, Homemade Blueberry muffins for breakfast ended my stay on an especially sweet note. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay at the Vineyard.

MariannaJune 2016

Great stay! Central location close to transportation and the main part of the city. Sara was so wonderful and accommodated our late check in. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Quiet, quaint and comfortable, well appointed kitchen, outdoor and indoor fireplaces and deck. Steps to West Chop Lighthouse, walking trails and beaches
Instructions for Guest Access provided upon booking.

We had a fabulous experience with Marilyn and her lovely property. Perfect location - 3 minute walk to a little secluded beach across the road and an easy drive into any part of Martha's Vineyard, but totally private and peaceful. Lovely little house with everything one could need for a vacation. Marilyn is the perfect host - available, friendly and very helpful. Highly recommended!

ChloeSeptember 2015

Marilyn was extremely responsive throughout the process. She offered extensive information about the island and the local area and checked in multiple times prior to the trip to ensure we were all set. The house is perfect space for 2 couples. Very quiet location. House is well stocked with all the essentials, very clean and comfortable. I recommend this home to anyone that wants a quiet getaway. And once the Uber driver knew where the house was, we were set for the weekend.

JayJune 2015

This is a beautiful place to stay and Marilyn made the experience really easy. She was extremely helpful and responsive. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and I hope to come back for another visit sometime soon.

ZoeDecember 2014

Marilyn We had an outstanding time in your beautiful cottage. Everything was perfect. We used the gourmet kitchen, the beds were perfect, and we read some of the books in your library. We especially enjoyed walking to town on the nearby trail through the woods. We took day trips all around the island, and it was great to come back to such a nice cottage. Thank you, we hope to be back. Neil Jennifer and Annika Merrilees

NeilMarch 2016

We love this house! Marilyn is a terrific host.. Followed up with us to make sure all was well. House is clean, organized, beautifully decorated and just super comfortable.. Proximity to town is great.. Walking/biking distance. we travel to the Vineyard a couple times a year and would love to rent this home again

JenniferOctober 2015

We stayed for a weekend at Marilyn's home. The house is beautiful and modern, lacking nothing. It sits on a quiet, wooded lot, very close to downtown Vineyard Haven. All is provided, even down to the smallest item you might hope to have in this home away from home. The cupboards are stocked with dishes and cookware, the drawers with silverware and utensils. Even down to the smallest items, like corkscrew and candles, great care has been taken to make one feel at home. The appliances are brand new, including a dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker (and grinder), as well as washer/dryer. All quite beautiful. Marilyn is kind and wonderful, with quick communication and checks with you every step of the way to make sure that things are perfect. I highly recommend this host and property. Can't wait to visit again!

CaryJanuary 2015

We loved this place! It is as well stocked, if not better, than my own home--dishes, silverware, linens, etc. All the comforts of home. Would definitely stay again.

Suesan January 2015

Marilyn's home was absolutely wonderful; a picture perfect Martha's Vineyard cottage, as beautiful inside as it is outside - cozy, clean and perfectly furnished and decorated for the Vineyard. This was our first time using Airbnb and Marilyn made the entire experience simple and welcoming. Incredibly helpful before our trip, Marilyn was extremely responsive during our trip as well, readily available to answer any of our questions as Airbnb newbies. I would highly recommend this home and host!

John was a great host and I highly recommend staying here when on island. We'll definitely stay here on our next trip!

JeremyJuly 2015

John spent about 10 minutes with us at check in to make sure we were oriented and had everything we needed. Private entrance so we didn't feel like we were bothering anyone coming or going- this was very nice.

GregorySeptember 2016

We had a fabulous overnight stay at John & Judy's suite. Very private and serene with lovely, clean accommodations, and aesthetic points. John and Judy were very thoughtful throughout. Altogether a great experience. We hope to visit them again next year. John & Judy ... thanks again!

Gracious host and hostess, great location, clean well equipped, great alternative to a hotel room. Nice linens, comfortable bed. Part way between Oak Bluffs and and Edgartown, on a quiet side street.

My place is close to the beach, family-friendly activities, and public transport. You’ll love my place because of the neighborhood, the comfy bed, and the coziness. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families (with kids). The room is large and bright and in the basement. The bathroom is on the upper level. It is shared with one other room. There is also an outdoor shower for a Vineyard experience. Most houses have outdoor showers and veteran visitors love it.

We spent 3 nights at Betsy’s lovely cottage house in Vineyard Heaven. Betsy is a generous and genuinely considerate host who took great care of us. From suggesting nice places to visit and restaurants (we truly enjoyed our diner at the little house cafe!) to kindly driving us at dawn to help us catching the early ferry back to Woods Hole, we cannot thank you enough Betsy for the time you took for us. The house, which is surrounded by a lush garden and the room in the basement are both faithful to the description provided online. It takes about 15 min to walk to/from downtown Vineyard following the road. The house is comfortable and we truly enjoyed among other things spending time in the covered patio drinking teas and coffees picked from the nice selection offered by Betsy. All in all it is a nice location to discover Martha’s Vineyard. We hope to visit you again soon!

We loved our stay at James’ and Susan’s luxurious Aquinnah home. It was everything we could have dreamt of for the perfect Martha’s Vineyard vacation: a beautifully appointed home with views to match in a quiet location. Comfy beds, crisp linens, bicycles, beach-towels, and a well-supplied kitchen just added to the ease of our days. The house was so lovely we had to force ourselves to get out everyday! Just sitting in one of the Adirondack chairs with a book or sharing a meal on the deck was vacation enough. And James and Susan were quick to respond to any questions. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home to others.

JeniferJuly 2016

Absolutely wonderful home in MV. Located away from the traffic and crowds of other parts of the island, this lovely, airy, and immaculately clean home with many thoughtful amenities truly felt like a vey special retreat. James was great, communicative and flexible throughout. Can't recommend more highly.

MikeJuly 2016

The house in Aquinnah is as depicted in the photos. It was everything we had hoped for. It was a special privilege to be able to call beautiful Aquinnah our home for a few days. It was just as fun to hang out in the house as it was to explore the surrounding area. You can't beat the location either: it's just a block from the beach and hiking trails, and only a short drive to the adorable town of Menemsha. The owners were very flexible with the arrival and departure times, and made everything feel relaxed and easy. I give our stay top marks.

StephanieMay 2016

OMG!!! This is a wonderful house in a beautiful, quiet location. We did not want to leave. The view of the ocean from the house is absolutely mesmerizing and while it was still too cold to swim, the walk down to the beach was lovely. The house was bright, warm, comfortable, exquisitely furnished, spacious and very well equipped. The beds were comfortable, the linens were nice; everything was brand new. James and Susan quickly responded to our inquiries and made some great suggestions on where to dine. They also sent us to a fabulous local farm for some great fresh provisions. If you are looking for a quiet and beachy vacation in a luxurious house, this is it. We are already planning our next visit back!

NoreenApril 2016

We had an absolutely wonderful time on the Vineyard staying at James and Susan's lovely, light- filled house in Aquinnah. We wanted for nothing and our hosts were readily available for questions or suggestions on restaurants and island activities. We look forward to returning next year- we can't imagine a better place to stay on Martha's Vineyard.

DeborahSeptember 2016

The house was beautiful with lovely, beachy furnishings and a gorgeous view. The bedrooms were clean and fresh, and the kitchen was outfitted with everything we needed to make easy and complicated meals. James was in touch to make sure all was good and answer any questions. We started thinking about a return visit before we even left.

RachelAugust 2016

My husband and I truly had one of the best trips of our life at this beautiful rental. This is one of those times where the photos don't truly do the space justice - the photos are beautiful but in person the space is breathtaking. The light, size, view, decor. Every corner of the house looks like it has been thoughtfully curated and belongs in a design magazine. On top of the impeccable style, everything was QUALITY. From the linens to the furniture right down to the toilet paper. This wasn't a weekend house that someone had filled with Ikea to rent on Airbnb, everything is thoughtful, curated, and high end. Moreover, we were wanting for nothing - the kitchen was infinitely stocked, there were extra towels, bikes, beach chairs, the whole works. The location is brilliant with ocean views abound. It is walking/biking distance to several beaches, the cliffs, lighthouse, Larsen's Fish Market, etc. It is a short drive for essentials to places like Grey Barn Farm, Alley's General Store and Farm Stand, and farmers markets. The area is also so peaceful. After attending a couple of events at the other end of the island we were relieved to be leaving the relative hustle and bustle behind to return to our quiet retreat. As hosts, James and Susan were fantastic. Their communication was excellent both before, during and after our stay. During our stay especially they were available at a moments notice via text if we had any questions. They were very helpful and made us feel incredibly welcome. We came to attend a wedding thinking it would be a one off trip to this area, but after our wonderful experience we will absolutely be back. Hopefully when we do this amazing home is available as it is the perfect home base!

The house has been graced with compassionate wisdom of meditation in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The quiet neighborhood and nearby fields add to the serene feel of our home. Yet you are still in close proximity to sites and action! The perfect mix.
The private studio is 1 mile from downtown Edgartown and only 3 miles from South beach. Public transportation, bike paths, and a local favorite farm..Morning Glory..(delicious food!) are all less than a 5 minute walk away.

The location is close to town ,beaches,trails,bike path and all,but again it is secluded and safe.
You will have your own parking space few feet away from entrance to studio.
I will be reachable by phone or person to secure a nice stay!

Llewellyn Way is a dead end road facing a 40 acre field .It is a quite,safe and tranquil neighborhood.
There is no A/C

The house had all the amenities we needed, great location and kept us very informed! Would definitely rebook this property!

We felt at home immediately! We arrived to find a little welcome note, delicious bread from a local farm and the key to the door was easily accessible. The location was great, very close to town and beaches. The room was warmly decorated, very clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen was set up nicely so we were able to make a few meals and not spend all of our money eating out. Maria was very friendly and helpful. She stayed in touch but overall gave us our space to enjoy the stay. A great time was had and we would be happy to stay there again in the future!

Cute and cozy studio in a quiet residential area of Edgartown. Close to beaches, stores and town amenities. The host was very helpful when needed. We would stay here again!

Our host provided directions and allowed us privacy which we appreciated. It is a rural setting and actually saw flock of wild turkeys in yard. Would need a car or possibly bikes
